Some say that the generation gap is really a reality gap; that kids and their parents just live in totally different worlds, with different values and different (here comes the cliche) life-styles.” What 45-year-old guy could be satisfied with just a few dollars a week, wearing jeans and army jackets, not shaving and sitting around blowing grass. He wouldn't just feel uncomfortable, or disinterested, but chances are he'd feel morally wrong. Why? The protestant work ethic, achieve- ment orientation, his career, and all that. Maybe there is something to those things; there's undoubtedly something to it. Probably kids will see things much differently when they get out of school, when they have to make their own bread to live on. Look how many are afraid of graduation. But when does concern for money and work become an obsession, a perversion? When do things mean more than people? When does what you have become more important than the enjoyment you derive from it? Bob Dylan sings about people who despise their jobs, their destiny; speak jealously of them that are free; do what they do to be nothing more than something they invest in. Man, I don't care how rough the de- pression was, try as I might, I derive no pleasure from having a fifth car. That's exaggerated, but the law of diminishing returns comes sooner when all you've ever had is commodities. That's why there're drugs. It's shared and personal. That may be hard to under- stand. Some of it is dangerous, and it screws some people up, and some people dig it and some don't. But most kids don't put it down, at least not pot. It is more likely to be legalized than not. 24
